Blaabjerg S, Artzi DM, Aabenhus R. Probiotics for the prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in outpatients-a systematic review and meta-analysis. Antibiotics (Basel) 2017;6. [ PubMed abstract] Probiotics are identified by their specific strain, which includes the genus, the species, the subspecies (if applicable), and an alphanumeric strain designation [ 3]. The seven core genera of microbial organisms most often used in probiotic products are Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Saccharomyces, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Escherichia, and Bacillus. Table 1 shows examples of the nomenclature used for several commercial strains of probiotic organisms. Table 1: Nomenclature for sample commercial strains of probiotics [ 3] Genus One capsule of Culturelle Digestive Daily Probiotic has 10 billion CFUs of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, a probiotic strain that may benefit a number of health conditions, such as diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). However, some of the purported benefits of probiotics aren’t supported by research, so it’s important to always consult a healthcare professional before taking a probiotic supplement, especially if you’re hoping to improve symptoms related to a health condition.

Most published meta-analyses have shown that probiotics slightly reduce atopic dermatitis symptoms in infants and children. For example, a meta-analysis of 13 RCTs with a total of 1,070 participants age 18 years or younger found that probiotic treatment for 4 to 8 weeks of those with atopic eczema significantly reduced SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) values, indicating reduced symptom severity [ 15]. Subgroup analyses found probiotics had protective effects in children age 1 to 18 years (nine trials) but not in infants younger than 1 year (five trials). In addition, treatment with Lactobacillus, Lactobacillus fermentum, or a mixture of probiotic strains, significantly reduced SCORAD values in the children, whereas LGG and Lactobacillus plantarum had no effect.

It has a wide range of functions in our body and maintaining a balance of ‘good’ to ‘bad’ bacteria is key to supporting our microbiota. Culturelle guarantees that the stated number of CFUs on the box is viable through the expiration date of the product, something the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommends customers look out for. Bile salt hydrolase activity, which increases the need for new bile acids and thus reduces serum cholesterol levels [ 50-52] Some studies show that treatment with the probiotics Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14 may help reduce UTIs in women.
